Actor Do Sang-woo is showing an exceptional presence in To My Beloved Thief.
Do Sang-woo played Im Seung-jae, the eldest son of Dosungji Im Sa-hyung (played by Choi Won-young), in the KBS 2TV weekend miniseries To My Beloved Thief broadcast on the 17th and 18th.
In the drama, Im Seung-jae did not hesitate to speak harshly toward Hong Eun-jo (Nam Ji-hyun) and her family even during his grandfather's funeral. Im Seung-jae enraged viewers with his vicious side, saying, "It's because the family took in the wrong woman," blaming even his grandfather's death on Hong Eun-jo.
Im Seung-jae did not falter even when confronted with Grand Prince I-yeol (Moon Sang Min). Intentionally referencing that the grand prince had pointed out to King Lee Gyu (played by Ha Seok-jin) the danger of drug abuse, Im Seung-jae responded firmly, "As deputy head of the Royal Medical Office, I will interrogate the royal physicians harshly." Outwardly he showed courtesy, but his calculated response heightened the drama's tension.
In this way, Im Seung-jae, together with his father Im Sa-hyung, secretly plotted to harm the king, cementing his role as a key figure who holds the key to the drama's future developments. In particular, Im Seung-jae demonstrates the archetype of a heinous villain, devising schemes to pin the minister's murder on the fake Gildong for the sake of his family and secretly plotting to eliminate even the grand prince.
Praise that Do Sang-woo's portrayal as Im Seung-jae breathes life into the work and the character continues to pour in. Do Sang-woo supported Im Seung-jae's chill and coldness with a gaze that seemed to see through others and rapidly changing facial expressions. As the plot progresses and Im Seung-jae's strategy grows sharper, attention is focused on what further actions this embodiment of absolute evil will take. To My Beloved Thief airs every Saturday and Sunday at 9:20 p.m.
